Sure, I'd love to take that question and give you some background. Daniel, I'm sure, can add to it.
I've been with the Federation of Canadian Municipalities for seven years as a board member, and as we discussed briefly before this committee convened, I am just ecstatic that the influence FCM has had as it relates to rural, remote and northern communities has been on the incline over the last number of years. Not a thing comes before our board that doesn't go under a rural and remote lens to look at policies concerning how it may affect the northern communities as well, so I think that's an important start in recognizing there's a need. Without recognizing that, you can't fulfill what needs to be done.
